The cool quotient: The sheer newness of the 2006 Jeep Commander makes you want to take a second look. At the same time, Jeep’s newest SUV recalls the burly Wagoneer – an old-time favorite of tailgaters everywhere.

Cargo space: Up to 68.9 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
Sound system: AM/FM/CD/MP3 system integrated within the navigation system, which features a 5.8-inch full-color screen and joystick for scrolling through menus and features; Sirius satellite radio is available.
Practicality: The hunky 2006 Jeep Commander is larger than the Grand Cherokee, but its exterior size is matched by interior conveniences such as 50/50 split rear seats, available rear stadium seating with heating and air conditioning ourlets, and a flat-fold cargo floor.
Extras: Available UConnect hands-free Bluetooth cell phone system; available rear-seat DVD entertainment system; dual skylights over second row of seats.
